@AskPlayStation I'm able to load Overwatch on my husband's account, it seems! When I loaded, the error code came up almost immediately.

Wanted to be transparent with everyone, especially with my Overwatch fam: I have not received any offer or info on the OWL 2022 season. After the last OWL season, there's been a disconnect and the lack of communication is the most frustrating aspect of it all.

@AlphaOmegaSin The level of disconnect execs have from what gamers want is often terrifying. Actual quote from an exec back in Overwatch Dev: "Battle royale is dead, no point getting into that genre" The month that Apex Legends launched.

@BirbIrl i think queue incentives are horrible for making the player feel like they have to queue a certain role over another, and i say that having mained DPS in overwatch with their queue incentives, it doesn't solve anything and it's a comedic "solution" to the bigger issue

@itscresty doom gets pretty repetitive after a while, tf2 just doesnt compare to overwatch despite heavily inspiring it, i dont really enjoy games that are super ******* difficult for no reason so crash isnt really my thing, and i only played a bit of superhot & it was in VR

@RobertEcafBaker @gematsu Gundam looked less like a live service and more like an Overwatch clone with overly desaturated visuals.

@itsnortymorty @Battlefield I’m afraid is if you turn BF eSports scene all about squad based modes you have some issues. Again identity crisis as this esports scene won’t accurately showcase the game (problem Overwatch is having.) And you have tons of other games with squad based sizes like CoD, R6, etc

Apex is having the Overwatch problem where you can accidently hit your teammates with your own ult while throwing it (example: Horizon ult hitting teammate after you throw it) In Overwatch they actually changed it so your ult goes through teammates when you are throwing it

People need to stop being “excited for the future of overwatch”. And worry more about the present and reality of current overwatch. You’re playing a live service game. You got 2 balance patches in a year and nothing released since your competitor released their game. Embarrassing

Is there a reason why Apex doesn't have a Grandmaster rank after Master, before reaching Predator? (Basically like how Overwatch had their ranking system). I feel like this would solve a lot of problems for the high-ranked cc's/pros that are complaining rn.

Ngl, Overwatch going 5v5 I feel isnt gonna be a problem, especially if they rework it so tanks dont get decimated. I hope they add a ban system later on though in ranked, especially since we'll be approaching enough characters to make it feasible in OW2

@Zero_RVL Maybe it's because I play multiplayer games(and yeah thats the biggest issue here its a damn single player game) but im use to not being able to pause lol... Overwatch, league of legends, Final Fantasy XIV, splatoon...

@Crewsn_ Did this back when I worked service desk at Microcenter once. Someone was complaining about constant crashes in games so I played some deathmatch in Overwatch after the tune up, lol.

@AskPlayStation Thank you for responding! I'm just trying to play Overwatch on the PS4. I tried looking at support but the error code isn't on there. Thank you for the help!

love when someone in a game gets mad at someone else for playing a certain character as if any one hero is the issue and not the lobby of 12 people playing overwatch (2016)

@AaColibri @ItsSomjuu That sounds more like a random smurf bot than a dev issue, unless you just mean your internet cutting. Overwatch does have some network issues, but I don’t find it consistent even as I have unstable internet. I don’t believe it’s intentional.

Note that the version names in these configs are set by humans as the one for Hearthstone often has errors and some Overwatch ones are masked to "1" in an attempt to hide it being OW2. (Also, replies disabled since it would also spam Zorb's timeline which wasn't my intention.)

@Seren1tynow Dota gets 2 major patches a year plus in-game story pve content, Apex also gets crazy amounts story with much more consistent seasonal skin and music content. Overwatch doesn't even come close to other live service games in terms of quality or quantity.

I’m ngl I love overwatch, but the way the game is now it’s just not playable. In the past there was bad metas, broken mechanics, etc but they were fixed eventually. As it stands rn, nothing wrong with overwatch will ever be fixed. They’re too focused on OW2 (or we think they are)

@NVIDIAGeForce World of Warcraft, Overwatch and perhaps some newer titles like Elden ring. At present my laptop runs everything on 1997 crash bandicoot graphics and beyond being a word processor I have to cancel gaming when I'm away from home ;-;

@DustStorm I enjoy it for the most part but it’s super rough switching from other shooters for me. I can play Destiny and then hop into Overwatch with no issues but my brain breaks when I try I play Infinite after playing anyhthing else.

@LateNightHalo The issue with the comparison is all those other games are very high mechanically skilled games quake, unreal, doom, overwatch, counterstrike. Classic halo is not. The argument has never really been about a singular mechanic but that games should have a deep mechanical skillgap
